Canucks' Chris Tanev: Suiting up in preseason
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Tanev (
ankle) will play in Monday's preseason game versus the Flames.
Tanev has struggled with injuries lately, as he hasn't played in more than 55 games in any of the last three seasons. The 29-year-old blueliner will start this season healthy, but he lacks fantasy aptitude as he has never surpassed 20 points in a season. Tanev will likely land on the third pairing this year.

Canucks' Chris Tanev: Skating with team
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Tanev (
ankle) participated in Saturday's practice.
Tanev was in a walking boot at the end of the 2018-19 season, but now he's back on the ice and looks ready for the regular season. He'll first look to suit up for Monday's preseason game versus the Flames. The 29-year-old has struggled with injuries often in his career, and he hasn't played more than 55 games in any of the last three seasons. As long as he's healthy, however, Tanev will likely play a defensive-minded role on the blue line.

Canucks' Chris Tanev: Still stuck in walking boot
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Tanev will be in a
walking boot for another 10 days and hopes to be fully healthy by May.
Tanev has struggled with injuries in his career, having never appeared in more than 70 games in a season. He finished 2018-19 with 12 points in 55 contests, his highest point total since 2015-16. He was asked to go to the World Championship, but given his injury, chances are he won't participate. He'll need the summer to make a full recovery and turn his attention toward training camp.

Canucks' Chris Tanev: Done for season
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Tanev (
ankle) isn't expected to be cleared medically until a few days prior to the beginning of the 2019 IIHF World Championship, which means he won't be available for Saturday's season finale against St. Louis, Irfaan Gaffar of Sportsnet reports.
Tanev will finish the campaign having totaled just two goals and 12 points in 55 games. The 29-year-old Canadian is still unsure if he'll represent his country in the IIHF World Championship, but he'll be back to 100 percent well ahead of next season's training camp either way.

Canucks' Chris Tanev: Won't play Thursday
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Tanev (
ankle) will remain out of the lineup versus Nashville on Thursday, Ben Kuzma of The Vancouver Province reports.
Tanev has played just twice in the Canucks' last 22 games due to injuries, and at this point, should probably be considered doubtful at best versus St. Louis on Saturday. The blueliner reached the 10-point mark for the sixth consecutive season, but is unlikely to get back to being the 20-point producer he was in 2014-15.

Canucks' Chris Tanev: Out again Saturday
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Tanev (
ankle) is projected to remain sidelined for Saturday's contest against the Stars, Kevin Woodley of NHL.com reports.
Tanev has drawn into just two games since Feb. 13 and there is no sign that his status will change anytime soon. With only three games remaining on the schedule, there's a decent chance he's played his last game of the campaign. If that's the case, he finishes with just 12 points -- two goals and 10 assists -- to go along with 122 blocked shots and 29 hits over 55 games.

Canucks' Chris Tanev: Still sidelined
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Tanev (
ankle) isn't in the projected lineup for Thursday's matchup with LA, NHL.com's Kevin Woodley reports.
Tanev is still recovering from the fractured ankle he suffered March 15 against the Devils, and with just five games remaining on the schedule, the Canucks may opt to simply shut him down for the remainder of the campaign. If that ends up being the case, the 29-year-old blueliner will finish the campaign having notched two goals and 12 points while posting a plus-3 rating in 55 appearances.

Canucks' Chris Tanev: Not ready to return
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Tanev (
ankle) is listed as an injured scratch for Tuesday's matchup with the Ducks, Jeff Paterson of TSN 1040 reports.
Tanev hasn't seen game ice since March 15, so he continues to sit on a modest 12 points through 55 games. He'll hope to get a chance to add to those totals when the Canucks play host to the Kings on Thursday.

by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Tanev (
ankle) will miss Sunday's game against Columbus.

Canucks' Chris Tanev: Sidelined again Wednesday
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Tanev (
ankle) remains unavailable for Wednesday's game against the Senators, Jeff Paterson of TSN 1040 Vancouver reports.
Tanev will miss his third consecutive game due to an ankle injury. His 12 points through 55 contests don't earn him any fantasy league merits, but he does own a plus-3 ratio, while 122 blocked shots could make him a worthwhile option in some. His next chance to return comes Saturday versus the Flames, though no official timeline has surfaced.

Tanev (
ankle) won't be in action against the Stars on Sunday, Jeff Paterson of TSN 1040 Vancouver reports.

Canucks' Chris Tanev: Sustains apparent ankle injury
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Tanev (ankle) will not return to Friday's game against the Devils, Irfaan Gaffar of Sportsnet reports.
Tanev sustained the injury upon taking a Kyle Palmieri shot off his ankle, per Iain MacIntyre of Sportsnet. The fearless defenseman was only on the ice for 3:07 in the first period; he tried to tough it out but ultimately left for good after a TV timeout. Expect the team to provide an update on Tanev ahead of Sunday's road game against the Stars.
